Health and happiness – two universal goals – may indeed be related. A number of studies, including one at the University of California Davis and another at the University of Utah, confirm that grateful people tend to be more optimistic, a characteristic that boosts the immune system.

Dr. Blair Justice, a psychology professor at the UT School of Public Health in Houston, practices a daily gentle examination. “At the end of the day, I ask myself three questions. What has surprised me? What has touched me? What has inspired me? Answering these questions gives us the opportunity to see things through fresh eyes.”
